Works well

Works well. Using to control RetroPie from phone. Would appreciate ability to increase size of the activation icon for the special characters (it's difficult to press the small icon in upper left corner) and also ability to rescale those special characters when activated (primarily the arrow keys). Thanks for app.

Works fine

Installed the driver, per the directions. Installed this app.

Configured the iOS app and it connects right away after restarting the iOS app. Had to watch the video on his webpage to understand how the mouse events are supported

Would like to see some gestures support so that mouse scroll events could be transferred up to allow easier web page browsing

Where has this app been my whole life?

Oh, it’s super old? Well at any rate I’m glad I found it, better late than never. It even works with RetroPie so I can fully access my Pi from emulation station or the desktop without anything other than my phone. Well worth $2.

Don't download this

The remotepi program that runs on the Raspberry Pi side has not been updated in many years and only supports armhf, which makes it useless for most of us. So, I'm out $2.

Not all Pis work

Must be armhf, will not work with arm64

Works!

Got it to work, though it took a few tries

Luis Please help

I’m connected to the same network, have the correct IP and port and it won’t recognize my Rasberry Pi 3. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the install shows it is correctly setup and running. Please help

doesnt work at all dont buy

connects but just never sends any keystrokes. i was really excited about this purchase but was let down.

Does not connect and nowhere to find a support contact

Just bought and installed this last night. It does not detect my pi. And yes they are in the same network. The description in the website is poorly documented on how to install/detect/troubleshoot from the pi. It only shows how to use. Well we need to connect before we can use. And please add a contact support on your web so we wouldn’t need to write a bad review to ask for help

Can’t get iPad Pro 11 to use mouse correctly

Great app, but for some reason I can’t get the mouse to perform any command. Have full control and can move the mouse across screen. Keyboard works great.

Limited functionality

Connected my iPad but screen taps didn’t work. My iPhone wouldn’t connect at all. Probably needs updating after 3 years. Money wasted.

It works, not many more positive things to say about it.

Had no trouble getting it working. Basically wanted RemoteMouse for the Pi. This version is sorely lacking in features, and is kind of a pain to use. Regret dropping money on it, but if the developer took notes from RemoteMouse and updated this thing, it could potentially one day be decent.

Works very well

I wanted to use raspberry pi on the TV in my kitchen without a mouse or keyboard. Since my iPhone is usually in my pocket, this software allows me to use the iPhone as trackpad and keyboard. Beautiful!

Mouse Buttons not working

Mouse movement and keyboard are great, but the left and right mouse clicks don’t work when you tap the screen (so it defeats the purpose)

iPhone X Support missing

Would be really nice to have it updated to support the iPhone X screen.

Works great with my MagicMirror

Setup was super simple and it worked with my magic mirror running raspbian stretch flawlessly.

Only suggestion I have is to add scrolling (two finger drag on touch screen?). Other than that, it’s really great.

Doesn't work

I tried it and it did not work. The app could not find my Pi, even though I put the IP address in

Interesting

Sometimes it kinda does disconnect for a brief period but it's rare. Needed a keyboard better than one cheap garbage one I bought a while ago so this helps. Only made for if you're gonna need to visit websites or stuff like that. Not so much to write papers. (I mean you could but I wouldn't recommend so.. lol) Wish this was made to be connected via Bluetooth though 😅. Also, better keyboard maybe. All in all it's a decent keyboard for decent things.

Worthless

Just wasted $2 thanks.

Response from developer

Dear Chris, sorry to hear you had an unsatisfactory experience with the app. If you experienced any trouble setting up or using it please consider visiting our website and emailing us for support. We would be happy to help troubleshoot. Thanks!

Bravissimo! Perfect!!!

Not only does it work perfectly, but the support is wonderful - my questions were answered in no time.
You can use the app anywhere; just make your iPhone a hotspot and connect the RPi. It's the ideal solution for me, since I'll need to access my RPi on the go.
I was actually shocked with how well it works - no latency, connection issues or anything. Bravissimo!!!
